Though it may be hard to imagine for those old enough to remember a time without the Internet and sophisticated video games, there’s a new generation of kids and teenagers who have never known a life without these luxuries. We’re sure you know how easy it is to get sucked into the computer while you’re bouncing around from link to link via Twitter, Facebook, and from blog to blog. It’s no surprise that people are literally becoming addicted to the Internet, but one new camp in South Korea is aiming to help these “web addicts.”

Online gaming is a huge deal in South Korea. Blizzard’sStarcraft and Starcraft II real time strategy games are such a hit there that South Korea even has TV channels that just show people playing the game live with commentary. For many of South Korean’s younger generations, the game is their entire lives, and it’s no surprise that parents, who grew up without any computers or video games, are concerned about their children.

The new camp is aimed at prevention, rather than curing the addiction. The kids that attend the camp aren’t clinical addicts yet, but the doctors say they’re all starting to show signs of a soon-to-be uncontrollable habit. The camp provides counseling sessions and “old-fashioned family activities” like making tie-dye scarves, reading books, playing non-video games, and taking walks in nature. These are all things their parents did growing up without computers. Since Korea’s obsession with the Internet is so recent, many parents just don’t know how to help their children.

Doctors say that there are two types of Internet addicts: the shy ones who like the anonymity of online games, and the ones who like the power and violence of the games. One patient shown in the video below literally plays games all night long without sleeping or even taking bathroom breaks. Doctors measured the patient’s brain waves as part of a new government-funded plan to treat clinically addicted patients, and found he had similar output to other kinds of addicts or those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

One child attending the camp said he gets angry when he’s on the Internet and his parents call for him to leave the computer. He said he doesn’t know why he gets angry “but it’s bad,” which is why he’s trying to fix it. Still, the kid said “it’s too hard.”
